Chapter 431

Sophia Evans opened her eyes on the cold hospital bed.

She had thought death would bring her peace. But fate had other plans.

Harsh sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her bandaged face.

A nurse entered and immediately sneered upon seeing her awake.

"You're awake? I'll call the doctor."

"Wait!" Sophia snapped. "What's with that look?"

She knew guards were posted outside. Only one person could save her now.

"What look?" The nurse scoffed. "The look reserved for trash."

Her phone screen lit up with trending headlines:

#Sophia Evans Caught Insulting Fans#

#Sophia Evans Must Leave Showbiz#

#Sophia Evans' Perfect Image Exposed#

"Lies! These are all fabrications!" Sophia jerked upright, wincing in pain.

The nurse threw the phone at her. "See for yourself."

Her follower count had plummeted by millions. The comments section overflowed with vitriol. Sophia's hands trembled.

Without her PR team, her career was over.

"Give me your phone!" She grabbed the nurse's wrist.

Before getting permission, she dialed a memorized number.

"Hello?" A child's voice answered.

"Theo! It's Mommy!" Sophia choked back tears.

The nurse gasped, nearly dropping her medication tray.

Sophia Evans had a child?

The industry's sweetheart, everyone's innocent crush, was actually a married mother?

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Theo sounded worried.

Sophia clutched the phone like a lifeline. This was her last chance at redemption.

The nurse quietly retreated toward the door, pulling out her own phone.
